Abstract

The investigative study is done using SWAT model to analyse the impact of change in Land Cover on the streamflow of Godavari River up to Chass gauge station in Maharashtra. The SWAT model was run 3 time for 3 subsequent decades (1985-1995, 1995-2005, 2005-2015) in order to take into account the changes in streamflow due to land cover. Hence, utilizing Land Cover map of respective three decades each with its own decadal weather data.
